The Compers Inn - Part 29

Rainey_LB

We liked Kents Cavern, its worth a look & there is nice beach just round the corner from KC for rock pooling (Meadfoot) if you have a fine day and your kids like that kind of thing, but you'd have to check the tide times.

Parkdean Torquay is quite tucked out of the way so you'll need to drive to most places from there. Trago Mills in Newton Abbot is good, lots to do inside and out, its about 15 mins from where your staying.

Fingers x for good weather, I've been in October and still made it to the beach!!

:hello: Everyone,

Hope all is well,the person on FB who asked me for votes pmed me today and I wrote back I had already voted.I dont mind but would rather not be pmed asking to vote,if its an MSER I know then thats ok not that someone I dont really know.

I went on the beach with my parents and we bumped into my cousin of all people.We all had a chat and then departed and Mum and Dad and I sat on a bench and I got us icecreams and I had one on a stick like a magnum,Really tasty too.

I am having a lovely afternoon!

Thanks Rainey. Looking forward to going back. We haven't stayed in a caravan this year and we enjoy that too. We get a 3 bedroom with double glazing and central heating etc just for 4 of us - it stops kids fighting. We will have a look at Trago Mills when we are there.Going to use Tesco tokens at Kents Cavern when we go - love saving money as well as doing comps! Kids still like rock pooling even though they are 14 & 12.

On average what percentage of the comps do people enter, I'm sometimes a bit wary of some of the sites and not so sure about all the email ones (other than from well known magazines/websites etc).

Is there anything apart from the 'list of spam sites' that people steer clear of?

I only comp on and off, depending on how busy real life is. When I am active, I avoid the stated 'spammy sites', but probably enter 80% of the rest of the online/email comps. I find that 'spammy' sites are usually mentioned in the OP, or are obvious--pop up ads etc. I don't know if there is a list somewhere.

I basically enter for everything I can reasonably use or give as a gift.

I am trying to be a more active comper, and branch out into postals too.

11 Are there any sites, from experience, which are likely to generate lots of spam?
There are a few which have come to our collective attention as sites that, when used for comps, seem to generate lots of unwanted postal, email & phone call attention. These are listed below for your information, however, please do remember that this is only the collective opinion of other MSE Compers & does not necessarily reflect upon the sites themselves.
